Unfortunately YouTube doesn't have closed captioning for that video for whatever reason.

Oh that is good, may I use your translation for something I am writing? I will credit you of course (using pseudonym or real name as you wish)

Yes, some towed howitzers have this feature, like the Finnish 155 GH 52 APU and Bofors FH 77, although they are slower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haubits_FH77 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/155_GH_52_APU

That doesn't make sense. The T-90 is a heavily modernised T-72.

It's also dangerous because of explosives on board the drone.

Geographically even less likely than the truck bomb, to be honest.

You

Appears to have been a truck bomb.

Around the beginning of the war Steve1989 did a review of the Ukrainian MRE and he had some good things to say about it

The war is going great when your 40 km MLRS is in direct fire range of a T-72

Is this cultural imperialism?

As far as I know, the tank repair and production plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv (Malyshev, the biggest one) have been hit by Russian strikes. However, there is also one in Lviv that to my knowledge has not been hit and is probably still functioning. Most Ukrainian tank and AFV production was in Kharkiv (Malyshev, KhTZ, etc.), so if the city is reasonably safe now production can probably resume. One of the bigger issues is a lot of the pre-war armour plate production was in Mariupol, so I don't know if they have plate supply from other places like Kryvyi Rih.

This is like if there existed a video of Patton starting up a captured Tiger tank and driving off with it

Nice to see a T-64BM2 Bulat and T-72B3M working together. Interesting to see a BM2 in Kherson, my understanding is they were all based in Kharkiv (with 92 OMBr).

There's actually one nation with worse demographics: China.

This aged well

T-64's autoloader is known to be quite reliable, but I guess it is possible.

He should be careful around stairs, unlike Edward Lee Howard.

They don't fly *that* high so I think even just getting enough 23/30/35/40/57 mm AA guns will suffice. It's just a matter of getting enough coverage.

I would say put some sort of integrated radar fire control on ZU-23s coupled with a radar optimised for tracking small, slow targets like the Shahed.

TOW is probably the single most produced missile in the Western world, so it's not surprising some will be sent to Ukraine at some point. This is like combining the Fallschirmjaeger with the Volkssturm.

That's honestly surprising, means Nizh would not protect against something like Kornet or RPG-29 and would be worse than Kontakt-5. Although, from what I read from Tarasenko, it does provide some protection, just not if the warhead strikes perpendicular to the blocks.

Yeah, no doubt, I just think it is interesting to see what both countries chose to invest in for their upgrades. Really? Ukrainian Defense Review says it protects against tandem HEAT, but I will defer to you. Ah, thank you for the correction.
